• Phillips screwdriver and possibly other screwdrivers, spirit level, pencil Before drilling, make sure there are no water or gas pipes or electricity cables in the wall. If necessary, get an expert to mount the device on the wall.

• Glue 2 of the device feet supplied to each wall mount. Please see Diagram C for how to position the glue spots.

• Now place the sound bar down onto an even surface onto the device feet glued onto the wall mounts, so that the two wall mounts are inside the device feet (6) of the sound bar. In order to achieve maximum stability, ensure the distance between the two wall mounts is as great as possible.

• Now measure the distance between the wall mounts and transfer this to the wall on which you wish to affix the wall mounts.

• Now hold the wall mounts at the height you want and mark the drill holes.

• Drill 2 holes for each wall mount. If you are using the rawlplugs supplied, use an 8 mm drill bit.

• Insert the rawlplugs into the drilled holes.

• Secure the wall mounts into place with 2 screws each.

• Connect all the cables you are using to the connections on the sound bar.

• Place the sound bar down onto the wall mounts as you did when measuring the distance.

• Then, check that the sound bar is seated securely on the wall mounts on both sides.

8.2 Fitting the batteries into the remote control

Open the battery compartment (28) on the back of the remote control by sliding the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow and removing it. Insert the batteries (2 AAA-type batteries) with the correct polarity (+ and -). The correct polarity is labelled on the batteries and inside the battery compartment (28).

9.3.1 “HDMI ARC” mode

HDMI (ARC Audio Return Channel) is an extension to the conventional HDMI connection which allows ARC channel audio signals to be transmitted in both directions. In order to use this functionality, all the components used must be ARC-compliant. Most modern TV sets, games consoles and digital receivers have an ARC output. Please refer to the user manual for the device to be connected. If the audio transmission does not work, make sure that the HDMI cable and the connection on the source device are ARC-compliant. It is possible that only specific connections on the source device are ARC-compliant. How to connect the sound bar to a TV set is described below:

• Using an HDMI(ARC)-compliant cable (E, supplied), connect the HDMI(ARC) jack (9) on the sound bar to an HDMI(ARC) output on the TV set. Set the connected device to “PCM Stereo”, “Stereo 2.0” or "Dolby Digital".

• Switch the TV set on, the sound playback will start within a few seconds. If your TV set supports the CEC protocol, the sound bar can be switched on and off using the TV remote control. If this is the case, the volume can also be controlled via the TV remote control. See the user manual for the TV set.SSBD 50 B1

9.3.2 “OPTICAL” mode

Use this operating mode to play music from the optical digital input (8) for example from a TV on your sound bar (A). The TV must have an optical digital output. Use an optical cable (Toslink cable) to make the connection. Proceed as follows:

• Connect the Toslink cable to the optical digital output of your TV.

• Then connect the Toslink cable to the optical digital input (8) of your sound bar.

• Switch the TV set and sound bar on. Set the connected TV to “PCM Stereo”, “Stereo 2.0” or "Dolby Digital".

• Start playing on the TV.

• Press the “INPUT” button (18) on the remote control to select the "OPTICAL" mode.

• You can use the volume buttons (19, 33) to adjust the volume to your requirements.

If you wish, you can change the audio settings using the relevant buttons on the remote control.

See the user manual for the TV set.

9.3.3 “BLUETOOTH” mode

The Bluetooth device name of the sound bar is SSBD 50 B1. If you are prompted for a PIN during the pairing process, enter "0000". It can take a variable amount of time to establish the connection, depending on the device. Establishing a connection

Press the “INPUT” button (18) on the remote control to switch to Bluetooth mode.

After switching to Bluetooth mode, the sound bar automatically connects to a paired devices (a steady “bt” is shown on the LED display (1)) or, if no paired device is found, automatically switches to Bluetooth pairing mode (the LED display (1) shows a flashing “bt”). If the connection to a paired device is lost, the device switches off after approx. 10 minutes.

• If your playback device has not yet been paired with the sound bar, the display flashes “bt”.

• Start Bluetooth scanning mode on your playback device (e.g. smartphone). It should then find the sound bar under the name “SSBD 50 B1”.

• Now establish a Bluetooth connection between your playback device and the sound bar.

• Once a connection has been established, the LED display (1) shows “bt” and a confirmation beep sounds. Generally, you should only have to pair once as the playback device saves the name of the sound bar. This means you do not need to pair the devices manually when you establish the connection again. If you wish to disconnect an existing Bluetooth pairing or switch to pairing mode, press and hold the "PAIR" button (34) on the remote control for about 1 second.

• Now start music playback from the source device. The sound is played back via the sound bar.

• You can use the (14), (15) and (35) buttons on the remote control or your source device to control playback.

• You can use the volume buttons (19, 33) to adjust the volume to your requirements. Disconnect The Bluetooth pairing is disconnected if …

• ... either of the devices is switched off. A confirmation beep will sound.

• ... Bluetooth is switched off. A confirmation beep will sound.

• ... the sound bar and source device are beyond the Bluetooth range (approx. 10 metres).

• ...you keep the "PAIR" button (34) on the remote control pressed for about 1 second.

The sequence of the tracks/folders played is determined by the order in which they are copied to the USB stick. In this mode, you can use the sound bar to play back audio files stored on a USB storage device, e.g. a USB stick. If connecting a USB hard drive, please note that the maximum current on the sound bar’s USB connection is 500 mA. Please also see the user manual for the USB hard drive.

If you want to use a hard drive as a USB playback device, use a Y-cable with a separate power supply to connect it. Please note there can occasionally be compatibility issues between the USB storage device and the sound bar, meaning only limited functionality is available or it may not function at all. If this happens, try a different USB storage device. It isn't possible to select USB mode when no USB device has been connected.
